Ball Raises Money For 30 Charities

March 13, 1986|By Nick Martucci

The 16th Annual Charity Ball sponsored by the Deltona Woman's Club last month drew a crowd of 152 patrons. Joining them in this communitywide effort to raise funds for 30 club-supported charities were 240 area sponsors and 276 club-member sponsors.

It took many months of planning to make this year's event successful, said Bonni Boyle, club president. More than 40 club members served on a half dozen committees. General co-chairmen were Louise Stiles and Eileen Boren. Overseeing the details were committee chairmen Mary Wachs and Dorothea Redd, decorations and arrangements; Libby Hall, cocktails; Jean Strang, hors d'oeuvres; Betty Konigsmark, reservations; Mariemma Boyton, program; Dolores Sliwinski and Sally Gordon, publicity; Dottie Hardwick, sponsors; and Lynn Gough, donors.

The funds will be distributed to representatives of the charities during ceremonies scheduled for next month.
